Chapter 75. The Punishment III
Helen's POV
I moved closer to Trisha again and bent down to her level as she was still on her knees. “I’m sorry, Trisha. I have no choice but to do this. It’s a way to help you so that you will reflect on yourself,” I said.
“How dare you, Helen?” She yelled again, scoffing. Before I could reply to her, she slapped me. I was so shocked as I watched as the guards ran towards Trisha again to subdue her.
I stood up after getting the reaction I wanted from her. I had mistakenly riled and provoked her to use that to my advantage to seek pity from everyone. It worked as everyone started shouting at Trisha and also pleading with Alpha Damon not to punish me as I only wanted to protect my best friend.
Alpha Damon ordered everyone to keep quiet and then he requested my phone. I approached him and gave him my phone to check the evidence I had against Trisha. He scrolled through my phone, looking shocked as he read the messages. I chuckled inwardly, stealing glances at him to see his reaction. He gave my dad the phone to read through the messages as well and then he locked up to me.
“I only saw the message you had exchanged with Trisha and all I saw was how she pleaded with you to keep her father’s secrets on the rogue’s attack and also tried to bribe you.” he said.
I nodded and then he continued. “ Can you tell me the reason why she did that and who were they trying to attack among you guys? Is it my boys?” “Her father was trying to get rid of Olivia as Trisha requested,” I said. “What?” The triplets and Olivia shouted in unison. Everyone was also surprised and then Alpha Damon asked me to continue.
“Trisha had a crush on the triplets ever since she joined our school and when she heard that Olivia was their mate, she felt insecure and pleaded with her father to have Olivia killed. I'm so sorry I’m just saying this, Alpha Damon. As I said earlier, I'm ready to accept any punishment you gave me and I want to apologize to Olivia on Trisha’s behalf,” I added.
I looked around and saw everyone gossiping about Olivia's being the triplets’ mate. Fuck! What have you done, Helen? You just announced to everyone that Olivia is the triplets’ mate.
Few were in support of their mate bond and the majority weren't as they all gossiped with each other. I finally felt relieved when I saw how everyone reacted to my revelation.
Alpha Damon ordered everyone to keep shut and then turned to me.
“You have done the right thing by exposing these evildoers, Helen and that showed how kind and brave you were for doing so. You already right your wrongs and because of that I won't punish you,” he said
“Thank you so much, Alpha Damon,” I said with a bow and then I returned back to meet Olivia and the triplets as everyone showered me with kind words.
“Thank you, Helen,” Olivia said. crying as she hugged me.
“I should be the one apologizing to you, Liv. I knew about the bad things Trisha had done to you but I kept mute,” I said, smiling as I had managed to get her to trust and feel grateful towards me.
She released me, sniffling. “You are such a true friend, Helen and I’m so glad I have you around me.” she added.
I smiled at her and reassured her that I would always be there to protect her. The triplets patted my head, telling me that they were proud of me. “I like the kind of woman you are growing to, Helen,” Lucas said.
“C'mon, Lucas,” I said.
“Your mate, I mean your husband will be so lucky to have you as his woman,” Logan added.
I was so shocked when I heard this but I smiled along with them.
“That dude will be so lucky,” Lucein added.
Can you just stop?
“On that note, have you found your mate?” Lucas asked
“What?” I asked, feeling surprised.
“I mean, you are eighteen and I expect you to have felt the mate bond or have you not?” He asked again.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
I cleared my throat and smiled awkwardly. “That... I will tell you about it later. Why don’t we focus on Trisha's punishment?” I said, diverting them. “Hooo, someone is feeling shy and won't tell us about her mate.” Lucien said, teasingly.
Lucas and Logan laughed out loud and Olivia joined in as well.
“Lucien!” I yelled at him playfully.
“Okay, I will focus but you have to tell us about it later,” he said.
Just then Alpha Damon stood up to address everyone and delivered Trisha's punishment.

Everyone screamed out loud happily praising Alpha Damon for being a fair and great leader. Just then Trisha yelled out aloud
“What if I have evidence as well?”
“What?” I muttered
“What do you mean?” Alpha Damon asked after calming the crowd.
“What if I have evidence to support my innocence?” She asked.
Just then Tina came out, standing beside Trisha
Fuck!
